Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comHi, I appreciate your Q & A here. I bought small tomato plant at nursery and noticed there are two equally “Central” stems. Already in large container now for 4 weeks. Should I cut one stem off? See picture. Also, is it normal to have fruit so close to soil or should I snip that off. See last photo with red circle. Thank you.

Yes, I would snip off the low stem you have circled. I think I would leave both of the central stems.
